She’s about to be so fired. I wish her the best.

So we’re back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?

Honestly, if an AI was running the country without some bastard prompting it, we might be better off for four years.

Totally agree with you that everyone in the fediverse should be working together. Especially the amazing devs.

On Android, software can be made with free tools, released on Github/Gitlab/Forgejo/etc, and pushed into an F-Droid repo. Heck, you might not even need the F-Droid side, you can just throw an APK up at your free host of choice. Plus, I don’t think there’s a language restriction in terms of what can be compiled for Android (I’ll make my ignorance known here). Apple is not an open platform. One language is accepted, they have one way to develop software, one (overstuffed) place to download that software from. It is much more difficult to develop an app for iOS compared to Android. And if you try to monetize it, people will use a PWA.

To make it clear, this is not meant to be a debate on Apple. This is just my take on why free fediverse software is much more likely to show up on Android.

That matters only if there’s enforcement. Otherwise, judges are just old men in robes ranting and raving about the way the world used to work.

I don’t really have a positive thing to say about people who want to stick to Apple as their primary device ecosystem.

It really is, from my limited use. I use the PWA on my (very old) phone and Firefox on desktop. But I like Interstellar.

Oh, I’m aware that both Lemmy and Mastodon have good apps. I’m just pointing out that if the ‘argument’ is that alternatives don’t have an app, MBin does have one.

Why aren’t we suggesting Mbin over Lemmy, actually? Because it seems like it has the same options. And Mbin even has an app (not just the PWA function)!

Cool, now make sure those products can get into American hands at a fair market price.

I wish I was shocked, given the town it’s in.

On one hand, it is a lot of revenue lost. On the other, it’s also a lot of resources freed up for Americans that would otherwise have been used by foreign tourists. As long as the supply remains the same and the demand drops, prices should get reduced as well. That’s what people understand.

What they don’t understand is that companies expect this to be temporary, and they’d rather have losses they can write off, rather than smaller profits that their investors will be upset about.

I’m genuinely struggling to see where this is really a bad thing. Then again, I’m also struggling to see where it isn’t exactly what was promised during the election. Tighter border controls and firm enforcement of immigration laws and border policies means that less people come in by all means. This outcome is exactly what people voted for.

Still gonna stay with Starfleet Command 2: Orion Pirates.

But I do enjoy the point-and-click adventure games (and I wish Voyager had gotten one in addition to Elite Force).

Was it the same one the first Bowler fell down?

Sure. And they’ll get paid by the person who chooses to buy it to release it, or by the library.

Dude, I practice opsec crossing county lines sometimes, what’s your excuse? This is how it’s always been, you all are just realizing how a dude from Queens and Jersey sees the world. That’s all that dumbass is. He’s no better than his roots.

So that everyone can experience it mostly. Potentially, yes, they could profit from it too, possibly, yes.

I just want to make it clear, I am a hobby writer who regularly releases my work PD.

All of the Blu phones from TracFone. Which is what I use.
